Design and optimisation of a reference electrode integrated anion exchange membrane water electrolyser for hydrogen production
Here, a gasket-free anion exchange membrane water electrolyser (AEMWE) has been designed with an integrated reference electrode (RE) next to the membrane electrode assembly (MEA).
Mechanochemical Dual-Metal Modification of CuBTC Metal–Organic Frameworks for Enhanced Hydrogen Storage
Our findings indicate that modification via a solvent-free mechanochemical route is an effective novel strategy for improving the hydrogen storage performance of MOF materials.
Systematic study of electrochemical performance of nickel iron hydroxide (NiFe(OH)2) electrocatalyst at high current densities in alkaline seawater solutions
This study focuses on testing cost-effective electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to facilitate hydrogen generation from seawater electrolysis.
Microwave-assisted enhanced activation of date palm leaf char for optimised CO₂ adsorption
This study presents a novel hybrid approach for producing mesoporous activated carbon (AC) from date palm leaves by integrating conventional carbonization with microwave-assisted activation. K₂CO₃ was utilized for chemical activation to enhance adsorption performance.
RAF 134/2223 Energy Innovation Needs Assessment: Hydrogen
The Energy Innovation Needs Assessments (EINAs) have been developed and updated to identify key innovation needs across the UK’s energy system, to provide an evidence base for the prioritisation of investment and support for clean energy innovation. This report summarises the analysis and findings from the EINAs across the hydrogen technology theme, focusing on autothermal and steam methane reforming, electrolysis, hydrogen transport, hydrogen turbines and depleted gas field storage technologies.
Improving electrocatalytic OER activity of perovskites through insertion of ternary B-site metals
In this work, lanthanum nickelate-based perovskites have been prepared via sol-gel synthesis and modified with ternary Co and Mn B-site metals, increasing their catalytic activity.
Electrodeposition and Optimisation of Amorphous NixSy Catalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Alkaline Environment
In this study, a low-cost Ni−S-based catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction was prepared via a simple electrodeposition process from a modified Watts bath recipe.
Challenges and progress in oxygen evolution reaction catalyst development for seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production
This review first introduces the benefits and challenges of direct seawater electrolysis and then summarises recent research into cost-effective and durable OER electrocatalysts.
